: The tank probably isn't set up just to run in and start. It probably has a
: huge checklist to go through, like our jets. Maybe they don't have the ten
: to fifteen minutes to tediously check every system on the tank before they
: start it up, being in the middle of a huge battle and all.
Well MC and the Elites seem to be able to hop in and out of tanks without having to perform system checks :P
